Not every sketch is a winner. And not every winner is a sketch. Here is just a random #characterdesign face, working on shapes. #haroartist #harostyle #havefunwithyourart #harodoodles #onetoonatatime #designingwithshapes #drawingshapes #designingcharacters #characterdesigner #doodles #sundaydoodles #randomsketch (at Turlock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYCF4MJaAR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Here are my 3 essentials when designing characters for stories! 🌸 An interesting backstory 🌸 A simple concept to build upon 🌸 A design process that I myself enjoy You can have the most pretty or intricately designed character, but they only come alive when you give them a life! Otherwise they are just pure aesthetic (just like my calm girls series! xD) Do you have an original character? I'd love to hear about them in the comments! #octips #ocart #occhallenge #originalcharacter #animestyle #originalcharacterstory #storyideas #designingcharacters #characterdesign #characterdesigntips #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CQiyuCbBswD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Three days ago @vignalistudio and I both bought a sketchbook. During my stay in Seattle I fiund Marcelo to be my best drawing buddy...like myself, he ALWAYS wants to draw. We spent many hours in numerous Starbucks-es drawing, and talking zbout art, and life. I learned a lot spending this time with him, so, Marcelo, if you read this, thank you! We ended up filling up a whole sketchbook in just three days!! #sketchbook #drawingpeople #characterdesign #inspiration sketching #drawingfromlife #character #caricature #designingcharacters #woutertulp #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMihl8FOHZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u26hfolzfi9h
Every story has main characters and those main characters need side characters. I’m sketching out many of them in order to get a better feel for their look and styles. P.S. Some people might wonder why are there no male characters? Well, first off there are a few that I haven’t gotten around to drawing yet, still feeling them out. Second it’s a story revolving around strong female main characters and their struggles. Third it’s my story so I’ll have mostly women represented if that’s what I want to do. 😆 ✍🏼 📚 👧🏻 #character #characterdesign #charactersketch #story #scifi #scifinovel #empoweringwomen #strongwomen #creatingart #designingcharacters #dmnevolution #creativelifehappylife (at Monterey Park, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Dx9wHF71P/?igshid=12u5a7n7kkw32

Darius: A hunts man and carpenter who adores his wife and family. He is very conservative but has a good heart and chose to ignore his wife's lineage,seeing the best in her. As a result of their marrige, the two moved to the deeper parts of the woods.The intention was to mimic the bogatyr (knights) who were impressively strong and skilled, very masculine men with a deep sense of honor.
I don't know who she is and I don't have a name for her. What name would fit her? Let me know down in the comments. #haroartist #harostyle #havefunwithyourart #randomgirl #randomsketch #sketchbook #sketchbooktips #sketchbooking #sketches #mysketches #sketchbookart #sketch #harodoodles #characterdesign #designingcharacters #characterdesigner (at Turlock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgc9xafPeFY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Heres a little wasp character I made while watching Ant-Man and the Wasp for the first time a few days ago. I used some techniques learned from @drawntworks . I don’t know his name yet.
